function no longer detects your hands
on the steering wheel, several warning
levels will be triggered:
– after approximately 15 seconds,
the "Keep hands on steering wheel"
messageappearsinyellowonthein-
strument panel;
– after approximately 30 seconds,
the "Keep hands on steering wheel"
message appears on the instrument
panel and the warning light 24
appears in red, accompanied by a
gradually increasing sound signal;
– after approximately 35 seconds, if
the driver does not put their hands on
the steering wheel after the warning is
displayed, an audible warning sounds
continuously. The brakes are then
briefly applied repeatedly to inform the
driver that they must retake control of
the vehicle by putting their hands on
the steering wheel. If the driver does
not respond, the "Active driver assist"
activates the hazard warning lights and
slows down the vehicle until it comes
to a complete stop.

manoeuvre at any time by
placing their hands on the
steeringwheel,brakingordeacti-
vating the "Active driver assist".

strument panel to inform you.

wheel, the system stops the
alerts. The function continues to
